1. A wireless subscriber unit comprising:

  • circuitry configured to transmit packet data in soft handover to a plurality of base stations;

    wherein the packet data is transmitted using at least one orthogonal code and a pseudo noise (PN) code;

    wherein the circuitry is further configured to receive a power control command from each of at least two of the base stations such that each power control command from a respective base station is a plurality of bits that indicates one of a plurality of power levels;

    wherein the circuitry is further configured in response to the received power control commands, to adjust a power level associated with the transmission of the packet data;

    wherein the power level is a lowest power level indicated by one of the power control commands.
